VED = road tax

Collected yesterday - for a bus it certainly moves- with 320 bhp!

I went with the very standard 18 rims so I can replace the tyres when the time comes and get some winter tyres also improves the ride

the salesman collected me in an S line 2.0 TDI 4 pot A6 all in black with 20 inch wheels which thumped over every bump from Liverpool airport to garage

Congrats! On a building on wheels like this 18" almost looks tiny, but indeed, drives way better than 20"! Same here, when I got the E46 the ride was horrible on the original 18" M wheels, handles much more balanced on 17's now.
